With our planet being slowly broasted, people are dying everywhere.
From heat.
We hear of huge physical disasters claiming hundreds, sometimes thousands of lives.
Earthquakes.
Tornadoes.
Hurricanes.
But the number one weather condition that claims the most lives is none other than heat.
I think of all the weather conditions, I would rather die from cold. From what I understand, the transition seems to be a bit more benign than burning to a crisp or getting crushed from the weight of stories of a building above you.
When the weather gets up over a hundred, I used to do stupid things like walk a golf course drinking and doing drugs for the entire eighteen holes.
And then walk another eighteen holes drinking and doing drugs.
Then I might go out and get a huge Black and Blue Top Sirloin with a baked potato the size of my head, drinking scotch and chasing it with Stout.
Then, it was not unusual for me to continue the party well into the night and as I rounded the corner to early morning, always that fateful quandary at about six a.m….
Do I try and catch an hour and a half of sleep before going into work, or do I chop up the last of the eight-ball, snort it, and chase it with a shot and a beer and THEN go into work?
Enter the mirror and the razor blade.
And I lived like that for decades.
Believe me, I am as surprised as you that I am still here, so mabe another indicator that the Big Dogg upstairs still has work for me to do.
I guess the coldest weather I ever felt was a windy night in Anchorage, Alaska. Actually, it was more like four in the morning, but I couldn’t make out the clock hands as I was squinting through my ski mask. My ears were frozen solid and I was afraid I might have to cut them off.
I was at 121 degrees driving across Death Valley in California, but it was a lovely 72 degrees in my Toyota Highlander.
So what the hell happened?
You start out by kicking Russia’s asses and then everybody gets on board with sending military aid to Ukraine, and now, reinforced with modrern weaponry and long-range missile systems, Russia is beating Ukraine’s ass.
Just showing it is going to take a while to resolve this, and I am intrigued to see how the 2024 election is going to affect the conflict.
If ever there was a time where a third political party could materialize and present themselves as a viable option to the two existing parties, it is NOW.
Let’s face it.
The Democratic Party is fucked up.
Their leader is too old, their platform too open, and they have lost touch with the basic human values that we were raised on and their fear of offending anyone has, in turn, offended everyone. They are like little kids wasting everyone’s time by getting down in the gutter with their opposition.
Ask Hillary Clinton how that worked out for her.
The Republican Party is fucked up.
Their leader is too old, unstable to the point of being considered dangerous, embarassingly uncouth, and a concern for national security. His supporters are zealots, mad at whatever they are told to be mad about.
The problem is, if not Fuckhead Trump, Douchebag Disantis, or Bumbling Biden, then WHO?
It is exactly this reason that keeps me safe and comfortable in the knowledge that the voice of the American People is not represented by the fools we choose to lead us.
Supreme Court Justices need to be limited to ten year terms and need to be elected, not appointed.
Thomas was appointed by the Bush crime family and it is time for that crook to hit the road.
Noticed the aging of the rock and rollers? Bands that enjoyed success are back at it on a stage near you.
I think there should be an age limit on rock stars.
Thirty-five sounds about right.
Stay well.
